effective agent known for the building up
Of debilitated systems. The following

Tho Cardinal YIrtues.

The cardinal virtues, according to the ac-
cepted idea, are fortitude, temperance, pru-
dence, and justice, and there is no seemingly
good reason why any one OF them should be
selected over the others on which to found
a political party. And II this were to be
done II would seem that ''iustice," which
is immutable and unchanging, and, as Cicero
said, "the same thing in Rome to-day and
in Athens tomorrow" would be the one
virtue selected.
While all men claim to desire justice, and
all civilized nations to be founded in just.
ice, though in both instances the claim is
far from true, there is no body Of men tha
arrogate to themselves, unless the Mug
wumps are an exception, the claim to rep.
resent justice, and that II Is embodied In
them as the Spirit was embodied In the
Divine man for the redemption OF the
world, and that all who do not agree with
them are unjust.
This is not true OF temperance, for we
find that very small percentage of the
population Of the world have arrogated to
themselves the title Of temperance people,
and they are so Incorporate in their claims
that they deny to every one who does not
accept the dogmas they proclaim any right
to speak on the subject.
In this country they have formed politi-
cal party with temperance as It's only article
Of faith, and are running a muck against
all who differ with them in their interpreta.
tion OF the word.
The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN can sac
without at all straining Its vision, the evils
which flow from the inordlnate and ion
proper use Of alcoholic liquors, and would
be glad to see that use restrained to proper
limits, but 1t can see other evils possibly
as great in misdirected efforts to accom-.
plish what is miscalled temperance.
Take for instance the Incorporate abuse
by the temperance men Of New York of
those who favored high license for the great
cities Of New York and Brooklyn as means
Of reducing the evils of the poor In those
cities, and the singular union between these
so'called temperance advocates aud the
saloon-keepers to prevent the passage OF
the high license bill.
And, as another, take the condition here
on yesterday, when, deny as they may, II
was because Of the action of these temper.
ance men persons engaged In some of the
necessary avocations of life were denied the
right to pursue them, and thus deprived of
the means of livelihood.
Webster defines temperance to be mod.
GRAFTON; but there is no moderation in such
action. Besides which there is no sense.
All reforms are gradual. Men improve step
by step, nearly each generation being in id-
vance of that which preceded it. And tenn.
perance must come in the same way.

David *. Cartier.

One of the most prominent figures in
Washington life passed away when Chief
Justice Cartier crossed the river OF life to
float on the ocean Of eternity. For twenty.
five years he has been resident here, and
his was no light hid under bushel, but a
life known of all men.
There are very few Of those who have
been prominent before the public during
Justice Cartter's life here who did not ac-
cord to him and his judgment the brightest
consideration and respect. His advice on
political questions, when he was in politics,
and even after he went upon the bench,
was sought by the greatest leaders OF the
party-men like Lincoln, Stanton, Wade,
Chandler, and Grant, and when given was
always regarded.
AS a lawyer and Judge Justice Cartier
ranked among the first in the land, and as
a man his character was without blot or
stain. A strong partisan and one
Of the founders OF the Republican
party, he never permitted his polltl-
cal opinions to blind his views OF the
law or to influence in the slightest degree
his judicial decisions. Firm, kind, fair, he
was model on the bench. Genial, pleas
ant, witty without malice, he was man
beloved by all. Another judge may per-
form his duties equally well, but 1t would
be hard to find man who will nll his place.
